You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“The staff made it so easy. In moments like this it was appreciated. They walk me thru all the details and answer all my question. The day of the burial everything was as they say it would be. They made my family pain easy. They took care of everything. Sharon and Carol were there to supervise. I'm glad that they made this painful process so easy. Thank you.”

“Evelyn Moreno has the most proper heart and patience, for dealing with families undergoing the stress of losing a loved one. Unlike others in the office that day, she took on herself, the responsibility of making sure we were attended. She was further, very helpful in searching for the multiple contracts my late father had initiated. Immediately Evelyn helped us sort it all and find calm specially for my grieving mother. Evelyn was present during the actual burial, and much time past the service. She wanted to be sure all was proper and that we were satisfied. We most definitely were, and all was due to her kindness and attention, since that initial visit in her office. May she be properly recognized and acknowledged by her superiors, for the heart-kind work she does daily.”

“The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating—professional yet compassionate, which made a difficult time a little easier. They answered all of our questions patiently and treated us with the utmost respect. The cemetery itself has a timeless dignity. The headstones are respectfully arranged, and there’s a comforting sense of history and care throughout the grounds. It’s clear that Caballero Rivero Woodlawn West is committed to honoring loved ones with grace and dignity. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a calm, respectful resting place for their loved ones or a quiet place to visit and remember. With gratitude, – The Guerra Family”
